Let's get minty!

Halloween is tomorrow!  It's a great excuse to gorge on candy!



I broke out the bag of Dark Chocolate Mint M&M's.



Wowie, these M&M's are such awesome green colors.  I could have just sat there and admired their awesome colors all day.  But I couldn't resist gobbling them up!



I decided it'd be easier if I just hopped into the bag and ate directly from there.  Mmm.  M&M's are awesome!

Oh, Olompali Part II

Remember the last photo from my previous post?



Why, I was in this fantabulous redwood bark kotcha! 



After admiring the kotcha inside and out, I went hiking. 



Oh boy, oh boy, do I love hiking!



I hiked and I hiked.  Oh, how many miles my shiny black plastic shoes traversed!



Did you know the Grateful Dead lived at Olompali for a few months in 1966?  Awesome!



Sitting on the "kitchen rock".



I had a great time at Olompali State Historic Park!  You should go visit it!

Oh, Olompali Part I

A few miles north of Novato along Highway 101 is a spiffy place -- Olompali State Historic Park!



"Olompali" is a Miwok word.  This area was once the site of one of the largest known villages of Coast Miwok.



Later this area was occupied by some awesome peeps, the Burdells, during the mid-1800's.  These buildings are from that time.



Old buildings sure are fabulous.



Walking through gravel is tough for a little man since gravel to a little man is more like rocks.  But it was an awesome workout!



Afterwards, I joined in a dance with the awesome Miwok peeps.



Then, it was time for a rest!  Whew! 



Now, what is this?  Come back for Part II!
